I have noticed on these boards that snipes are not always placed. Due to different time zones there maybe maintenance being done when my snipe is due to be placed. If my snipe is due to be placed on Ebay UK at 9.56am GMT will it be placed or will that be maintenance time for Auction Sniper, I do not want to lose this auction due to this happening. Can anyone advise? Thanks

Each week, eBay reserves a two-hour period to perform routine maintenance on the global eBay platform. We currently start at 1:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday mornings. Starting on Thursday, February 24, we will be changing this two-hour period to start at 11:00 p.m. on Thursday nights and end at 1:00 a.m. on Friday mornings (23:00 to 01:00) Pacific Time. This is the same time period that PayPal also uses to perform weekly maintenance.
Why we are making this change:

Our goal when we perform maintenance is to ensure we minimize the impact to our buyers and sellers across our global marketplace. Traffic patterns for the global eBay marketplace have changed over time. In addition, now eBay and PayPal are more integrated. To improve the member experience, we want to synchronize our maintenance periods for both sites.

Our new maintenance period (23:00 to 01:00 starting Thursday night) reflects the period during the week of lowest site traffic globally and will be consistent with the regular PayPal maintenance period. Please note that during most maintenance periods, eBay is available, with only certain site features experiencing intermittent unavailability or slowness. PayPal is unavailable during the maintenance period.

We will continue to provide weekly reminders on the System Announcement Board for each week’s maintenance period.
...is what that link says. Good question Jab!
